It's Fun to Play the Piano ... Please Pass It On!

Decided to bite the bullet on this one after reading many reviews here.. Also tried it out for about an hour at a local music store with my Studio Headphones. Cant wait to get this so I can hook up my M-Audio BX8's. I have a student discount for pianoteq. ill have to play around with the piano for a while to see if the samples are adequate.. otherwise I might get software.

The 15% coupon expired oct 31st but a bit of asking on the phone got the price

alright.. looks like I need to call back tomorrow morning.. wonder if they'll refund me some money.. i see used ones for $679 (scratches head).. EDIT: called in this morning and got a discount.. Updated price above

The first price I got was with tax.. I called back and said that since they had a coupon for no tax, I should get the piano without tax.i think the person that entered my order put it at a low price originally and taxed it so it would come out to the 719( i also ordered something else)So when I called in about the no tax, I got a low price..

Hope that makes sense.

In essence it makes sense. On the other hand figuring out how they came up with that final figure requires specific numbers.

EDIT: I was thinking about this today. Because you have posted a price paid in this specific thread I would like to understand how you walked away paying only $648.64. Was it due to a salesperson's error in calculation? I get the part about going backwards to come up with a figure that produced something comparable to what you should have paid if they honored a coupon and tax off sale in the first place (you got 2 different sale discounts applied at once correct?). 15% off (coupon) of the going price and a no sales tax discount would have left $679. Where did the $648.64 come from? If the area of Los Angeles where you purchased this has a 9.25% sales tax rate that means they should have punched up something like $622.00 to produce $679. A key point is that you said "out the door" so that would be the total you paid (pseudo tax, no tax, 15% off, etc.) period not the trumped up figure that lead to a number reflecting expired sales discounts.

Did anyone that purchased the casio px 350 from musicians friend ( or any place for that matter) buy extended warranty coverage? MF is offering me a 3 year warranty that covers everything except theft for $99.. Im wondering if I should take it.. Any thoughts?

I think I was lucky with the price when purchasing in last week of July: I lately heard that the wholesale prices in Spain became rised up from August and the dealers have to forward this to their customers now;

To anyone else who bought a new Kawai CN43, the publicity/advertising says is comes with Alfred's Piano Course for Adults or something. According to Amazon, this is a book with CD, yet I received no such thing, and the vendor says there was nothing else in the box. Should there have been? Thanks.

Thank you for your response. I have found 3 dealers closest to my home. One of the dealers are in the process of innovating their store so the door was locked. The other 2 dealers, one of which I have visited today quoted me $3k out the door + delivery. She said she can lower the price for me if I am serious about buying and pay in cash. I am going to find out from other dealer later and see how much they offer.

*(includes tax, adjustable bench, two sets of yamaha piano head phones and delivery + set up)I could have pushed the price by another 200 EUR lower if I was not stupid and remembered their initial price offer...

Also, they do sell with luxembourgish VAT which is 15 % as opposed to 20 % in Germany or elswhere in the EU (provided the delivery is made to Luxembourg).

Had to wait for a looooong time for delivery though (I was told NU1 sells quite well and is out of stock...)
